I remember after the draft and free agency so many people on here said it was enough and chastised anyone who said this line won't protect Burrow this season. Those people are also very quiet about that and have been all season.

Lets see some real change on the OL this upcoming FA. I want proven guys in here protecting our greatest asset, not just one signing and an unproven player from the draft. We need an overhaul.

Not disagreeing, I'd have loved to see us upgrade in fa. I think the biggest issue (and maybe one this season will fix) is that it's hard to attract top free agents to a loser, sometimes even if you're throwing gobs of money. A lot of guys don't want to hurt future contracts by signing a huge deal to a two win team and the only improvement is two more wins.

I think now that we showed what the team can do with some talent, it will help the next season or two to make guys think 'hey, I can get a big deal and a ring there.'
